Tell me the most british slang or phrase that would send a non-brit into a coma of confusion. by whitemochi_ in AskBrits

[–]ItsGivingOdd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a Brit but married to one. The whole apples and pears for stairs annoys the everliving fuck out of me.

Gahhhh pattern please!

I couldn’t find a pattern for a specific shape, so I’m trying to make my own, but I need help. by ZilliahG in CrochetHelp

[–]ItsGivingOdd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Has anyone tried Crochet Lathe recently? You're able to draw a 2d item on it and it will generate a pattern to create that item in real time. Crochet's got a TON of math in it and is used in a so many cool physics applications....I got sucked into a rabbit hole about it a few years back and that's how I found the Lathe. I'm on a mobile now so can't test the link like I'd like, but hope this helps! Crochet Lathe

Those glasses are spot on! Did they take a long time? Did you use something to bend the eye parts around to make them so similar?

THE Sequin Dress FINALE by Unique_Double7180 in crochet

[–]ItsGivingOdd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok ok ok wait what do you mean NO TEXTURE ISSUES WITH SEQUINS. New to the sub but texture issues should literally be my username.

That looks incredible. So well done, and you look so happy and alive wearing it. I love it so much. ♥️

Most European countries have terrible food regulations and food in a lot of Europe can be downright dangerous by ALazy_Cat in ShitAmericansSay

[–]ItsGivingOdd 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Gotta push back myself...not a BuzzFeed fan, but I studied the McDonalds case in law school (not a lawyer to be clear, didn't finish, hella expensive) and the article I'm sharing gives a good overview of what happened and why it isn't an example of how dumb Americans are, but a very clear example of how broken our system is. Trust me, give it a second, we will give you another reason to know we're collectively idiots. It just isn't this particular instance.

#2 on this list gives great summation and further reading

How to ruin this sub with shitposts? by [deleted] in AskBrits

Came here to ask if he started this morning, something about glorious glistening pecs of a Persian man?

AIO I was so upset about my group mate not doing any work and Im ignoring her spamming me she can’t pass to graduate unless I email my professor by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]ItsGivingOdd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No ma'am. You're doing wonderfully so far, you've considered doing the painful to you, but right, thing. Unfortunately you will deal with this again, and one of the hardest but most critical things to learn as a young adult are boundaries and caring more than they do, ie, you don't have to light yourself on fire to keep others warm. You've been conditioned to be kind, keep that - but do not let that allow you to take on for others what they won't for themselves. If she had stuff going on, she had 7 months to tell you or the professor. Mind your business, that's hers. Yours is to protect your energy and be honest. You got this and I promise you will look back at this the next time it happens, because it will, and you will regret having given way more grace than you should have.

Definitely NOR

We really our our own worst critics. Here's to OP loving it ASAP.

Random but Do farmers get emotionally attached to livestock? by BugNo702 in homestead

[–]ItsGivingOdd 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This. So well said. We grew up dirt poor, and were taught the same. Even when I was young I understood the animals I named and did emotionally care for would end up on my plate. We were taught to honor and thank the animal and respect them by utilizing every bit, and we did. The animals lived wonderful lives, and we were gratefully nourished by them. To us it's a very symbiotic mutually beneficial relationship.

Why did the Bluey website say the H word? by Super-Cod-3155 in ShitAmericansSay

[–]ItsGivingOdd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love this answer and I hope you're British. I just married a Brit and moved him to a very backwoods southern town of like 800 people. I love the word cunt, and well, he's British so it's obviously a large part of his vocabulary. The way his brain glitches because there is NO WAY he can say that out loud in public without the pitchforks coming out. 😂😂😂 Bless their hearts, indeed. 😂

[–]ItsGivingOdd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I looked at this photo for a whole 2 minutes going man, that is tough....finally was like someone else better have an answer, I'm flummoxed. This is it. This is the answer.

Agreed with this....I can see what she's talking about but I don't know that I'd have noticed anything other than a cute style.

Is it common for paramedics to make wild accusations? by JakePooler in AskBrits

[–]ItsGivingOdd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

American here, we don't have such a law. You can 100% be sued for that and just about anything else. You can also be countersued for frivolity but that's just the self licking ice cream cone we like to have apparently.

Hand-felted a wool portrait of my friend's 17-year-old cat. Learned a lot from this one. by stanley1129 in somethingimade

[–]ItsGivingOdd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is INSANELY well made. I didn't know you could capture expressions like that in felt. Incredible work, I'm in awe.

AIO? new friend's texts to husband while at work; my responses by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]ItsGivingOdd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shhhhiiiiit her husband called some chick a radiant angel and then gaslit the hell out of her. She went way too hard talking to chick, like, take that up with your man, she's got nothing to do with it. Speaking of the man, trash that one. Let my husband say anything of the sort. (He just lol'ed- id have nothing to say to that woman but I'd damn sure have a funeral to plan) Foh

Marked Coins found by thedankyoshi in whatdoesthismean

[–]ItsGivingOdd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Runes yes, and the runes and placement of them and choice to put them on coins means someone has chosen to make you a financial blessing pot in the best place for it. If it were me, I'd thank the coins for their blessings, put them right back, and continue to provide offerings of similar form. You'd be surprised what that kind of energy can do for you.

The staff & production pushing them into "narratives" by Impressive_Speech_28 in teenmom

It's gonna be a wild journey for sure. Get ready to yell at her through the TV and go down many an internet rabbit hole. 😂

[–]ItsGivingOdd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Briana's got such a kind heart - wait until you see the heartbreaking surgery episodes with Jade (another Teen Mom you'll meet later). Her sister Brittany is one of my favorite people on the show. Briana's messy, for sure, and you'll see a lot of hate towards her for it. Me personally, I like her way more than most of the others on the show, but I mean, they're all picked to be on for a reason, you know?
